Newsletter Ads Policy & Guidelines
The Muslim Community Association Newsletter is a weekly publication produced by the MCA Publications @ Communications Committees, available in both print and digital e-newsletter formats.
Advertising Policy and Guidelines:
The Publications Committee has a policy not to publish ads that contain any content that may reasonably be considered unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, vulgar, obscene, indecent, or otherwise inappropriate, at our sole discretion.
Advertisement Disclaimer (No Guarantee of Ad Placement):
Ad Submission Policy & Deadlines
Please note that there is no guarantee your ad will be published in the same week as your Tuesday payment, especially if your event is 3–4 weeks away. In some cases, your ad may be pushed to the following week if the newsletter has reached its full capacity of paid ads and cannot accommodate your ad for that Friday. Unfortunately, we will only know if this occurs after the Tuesday 5:00 PM deadline, when all ads have been submitted.
We apologize for any inconvenience. If your ad is not published as scheduled, we will process a refund for the payment of the ad that was not published. Ads for events taking place within 2 weeks take priority over events scheduled 3–4 weeks in advance, at the discretion of the Newsletter Coordinator.
Payments:
Please click here to submit your online payment.
Don’t forget to download your receipt, as it must be submitted along with your advertisement via email. The Publications Committee will not publish any advertisement without payment.
Please ensure you indicate the size of your ad when submitting payment.
In general, to proceed with the NL ad request, please follow these guidelines:
1. Submitting Advertisements:
Please email your advertisement design in high-quality PNG or JPEG format to newsletter@mcabayarea.org
Attach a copy of your payment receipt along with your advertisement. Ensure that the size matches the guidelines. The Publications Committee is not responsible for editing your ad, so please submit it exactly as you want it to appear.
2. Ad Size:
Please specify the ad size you require. Click on the image below to view the size guidelines for your ad. To check if your ad is the correct size, you may use this link: https://imresizer.com, where you can resize your PNG or JPEG file if needed.
